He was sent here by { _-•* .the State Council of Defense and gave • very interesting talk. He pointed Sfut the best way for high school stu­ dents to help their country in this , ^jrisia. Mr. St. John said the best way "Was to go on to higher educational in­ stitutions and he placed special emphasis on the value of a college ed- ~ ucation. He claims t that Uncle Sam *ill need men and women who can think and those who are'trained in cer- tain lines. The Unted StateB must : not make the mistake England did by ^ pending all her trained young men in­ to the trenches and leaving no one at ., .home to equip the soldiers and invent things to carry on the war success- iV ftilly. It is-up to the United States, send "some men into the trenches and leave others at home and send them to college until* the specific call <5omos, the call which they alone can apswer. Then they are just that i.' farther advanced in their partic- Jfilar branch of training and are that much better fitted to serve their coun- :^|*y. -rTfcis talk of Prof. St. John's i^as greatly enjoyed and it would un­ doubtedly have done others besides ' high school student good i to have ylleard it. - :'i "A College Town," a1 farce-comedy, vsuccessfully presented Friday ^ evening by the members of,.the junior 'f, S _ <slars. ^ * Leonard 'frrett played iifce pari of *C..". jimmie Cavendish, a typical college :•' \ good fellow, with his naturally free *,' and easy manner.
